- ―Kreia, telepathically, to Jedi Exile in the Peragus Mining Facility[src]
- "Find what you were looking for amongst the dead?"
- ―Kreia to Jedi Exile in the Peragus Mining Facility[src]
- "He cannot kill what he cannot see, power has blinded him long ago."
- ―Kreia on Darth Sion[src]
- "Also, in private, we will be mercifully free from the opinions of imbeciles and fools."
- ―Kreia to Jedi Exile about their companions[src]
- "The Jedi Academy on Dantooine is nothing more than a crater that echoes with the ghosts of dead Jedi. And the Jedi Temple on Coruscant lies empty. The waters in the Room of a Thousand Fountains have fallen still, in reverence to the fallen Jedi... and those now lost."
- ―Kreia on the destruction of the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine and the Jedi abandoning the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the First Jedi Purge[src]
- "Your spirit, as diseased as it is, refuses to allow you to give up, no matter what threats you face... and whatever wreckage you leave behind you."
- ―Kreia to Atton Rand[src]
- "There are dark places in the galaxy where few tread. Ancient centers of learning, of knowledge. But I did not walk alone. To be united by hatred is a fragile alliance at best. But my will was not law. There were disagreements, ambition… and hunger for power. There are techniques within the Force against which there is no defense. I was cast down, stripped of my power, exiled. I suffered indignities, and fell into darkness."
- ―Kreia on her exile from the Sith Triumvirate[src]
- "There is no strength in the hunger he possesses... and the will behind his power is a primal thing. And it devours him as he devours others—his mere presence kills all around him, slowly, feeding him. He is already dead, it is simply a question of how many he kills before he falls."
- ―Kreia, on Darth Nihilus —

- "If you were to face an ancient Sith Lord in combat, you would learn that we are as children playing with toys compared to the prowess of the old Masters."
- ―Kreia on the ancient Sith Lords[src]
- "It would have helped, had he made her understand. But she was always strong-willed, that one, and did not understand war as Revan did."
- ―Kreia on the way Revan left Bastila Shan[src]
- "Know that much may happen here, but above all, do not forget this—you may trust in me. We cradle each other's lives, and what threatens one of us, threatens us both. And if you find you cannot trust me, trust in your training. Trust in yourself. Never doubt what you have done. All your decisions have brought you to this point."
- ―Kreia to Jedi Exile as she is about to enter the Jedi Enclave and meet the Jedi Council — Listen (file info)[src]
- "And what is it you think you have accomplished? If you seek to aid everyone that suffers in the galaxy, you will only weaken yourself … and weaken them. It is the internal struggles, when fought and won on their own, that yield the strongest rewards. You stole that struggle from them, cheapened it. If you care for others, then dispense with pity and sacrifice and recognize the value in letting them fight their own battles. And when they triumph, they will be even stronger for the victory."
- ―Kreia to Jedi Exile[src]
- "This wound … it is a physical thing, and will fade with time. It was necessary … some things may only be learned from sacrifice."
- ―Kreia to Jedi Exile[src]
- "You have failed me. Completely and utterly."
- ―Kreia to Jedi Exile[src]
- "What do you wish to hear? That I once believed in the code of the Jedi? That I felt the call of the Sith, that perhaps, once, I held the galaxy by its throat? That for every good work that I did, I brought equal harm upon the galaxy? That perhaps the greatest of the Sith Lords knew of evil, they learned from me?"
- ―Kreia to Jedi Exile[src]
- "Learn from me, my mistakes, and use that knowledge to become greater than I. That is all I desire. In you all my hopes rest, for the future, for the Force."
- ―Kreia[src]
[edit] Kreia on the Force
- "It is only through interaction, through decision and choice, through confrontation, physical or mental, that the Force can grow within you."
- ―Kreia to Jedi Exile[src]
- "When one relies on sight to perceive the world, it is like trying to stare at the galaxy through a crack in the door."
- ―Kreia to Jedi Exile[src]
- "When I spoke of sight before, there is a similar handicap that tends to occur among those strong in the Force. They neglect their skills. Some believe they no longer need them."
- ―Kreia to Jedi Exile[src]
- "Skill does not always draw from the Force, but it is a measure of power nonetheless. It can grant knowledge, help steady oneself when one's thoughts are in chaos, or grant enlightenment."
- ―Kreia to Jedi Exile[src]
- "Yes... and what are they without the force? Take the greatest Jedi Knight, strip away the Force, and what remains? They rely on it, depend on it, more than they know. Watch as one tries to hold a blaster, as they try to hold a lightsaber, and all you will see is nothing more than a woman -- or a man. A child."
- ―Kreia[src]
[edit] Dialogues with the Jedi Masters
A transcription of the scene with Kreia confronting the Jedi High Council in the ruins of the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine. The councilors are Jedi Masters Vrook Lamar, Kavar and Zez-Kai Ell; in this scene they are killed by Kreia as they attempt to strip the Force from her apprentice, the Jedi Exile.
- Vrook: "You were deafened."
- Kreia: "At last, you could hear."
- Kavar: "You were broken."
- Kreia: "You were whole."
- Zez-Kai: "You were blinded."
- Kreia: "And at last... you saw."
- —Kreia to the Exile, as the Council speaks of her lost Force-sensitivity[src]
- Kreia: "Step away from her."
- Vrook: "Wh-?"
- Kreia: "Step away! She has brought truth, and you condemn it? The arrogance! You will not harm her. You will not harm her ever again."
- —Kreia Force-pushes the Masters away from the Exile[src]
- Kavar: "I thought you had died in the Mandalorian Wars…"
- Kreia: "Die? No—became stronger, yes."
- ―Kavar recognizes Kreia[src]
- Vrook: "Is this your new Master, exile? If so, then you follow Revan's path. Her teachings will cause you to fall as surely as he did."
- Zez-Kai: "We sought to lure the Sith out… and now they have come to us."
- Kreia: "As you would pass judgment on her, I have come to pass judgment on you all. Do you wish to feel the teachings born of the Mandalorian Wars? Of all wars, of all tragedies that scream across the galaxy? Let me show you—you, who have forever seen the galaxy through the Force. See it through the eyes of the Exile"
- —The others acknowledge her, then all three get Force drained[src]
- "How could you ever hope to know the threat you face, when you have never walked in the dark places of the galaxy—faced war and death on such a scale. If you had traveled far enough, rather than waiting for the echo to reach you, perhaps you would have seen it for what it was. There is a place in the galaxy where the dark side of the Force runs strong. It is something of the Sith, but it was fueled by war. It corrupts all that walks on its surface, drowns them in the power of the dark side—it corrupts all life. And it feeds on death. Revan knew the power of such places… and the power in making them. They can be used to break the will of others… of Jedi, promising them power, and turning them to the dark side. The Mandalorian Wars were a series of massacres that masked another war, a war of conversion… culminating in a final atrocity that no Jedi could walk away from—save one."
- ―Kreia disparaging the Council before turning to the Exile[src]
- "And this is what I sought to understand. How one could turn away from such power, give up the Force… and still live. But I see what happened now. It is because you were afraid."
- ―Kreia squats down to the Exile, who is lying unconscious on the grass[src]
Later, Kreia confronts Atris in the Telosian Jedi Academy and makes her realize she has fallen to the dark side of the Force.
- Kreia: "Who I am is not the question."
- Atris: "I am Atris, Jedi Master… the last historian of the Jedi… the last of the Jedi."
- Kreia: "Those are titles, words you cling to as the darkness falls around you."
- Atris: "You are that which has attacked the Jedi… you are Sith."
- Kreia: "'Sith' is a title, yes, but like you, the title is not who I am. It is not what I believe. For you… it is different. Know that there was once a Darth Traya. And that she cast aside that role, was exiled, and found a new purpose. But there must always be a Darth Traya, one that holds the knowledge of betrayal. Who has been betrayed in their heart, and will betray in turn."
- —Kreia and Atris[src]
[edit] Malachor V
Quotes from the final showdown with the Exile on Malachor V.
- Kreia: "You no doubt have many questions. I would be a poor teacher if I did not give you the answers you seek here, now."
- The Exile: "Why did you destroy Atris?"
- Kreia: "I never destroyed Atris—she had destroyed herself. I merely stripped away the illusion, and brought her truth. Her teachings could not be allowed to continue. And like Malachor, she was part of your past, unresolved. She needed to be something you could confront—and defeat, one last time. It was part of your training. Part of what was needed to make you complete. And there must always be a Darth Traya. The galaxy needs its betrayers, especially in the times to come. She loved you, you know, as one loves a champion. You were all that she could not be"
- The Exile: "She never mentioned such feelings."
- Kreia: "Yes… It is all that is left unsaid upon which tragedies are built."
- —Kreia answers the Exile on Atris' fall to the dark side[src]
- "Yes, always. From the moment you awoke, I have used you. I have used you so that you might become strong, stronger than I. I used you to keep the Lords of the Sith from condemning the galaxy to death with their power unchecked. I used you to lure them to Telos, where they could be, at last, fought and killed. I used you to reveal Atris' corruption, so that her teachings could be ended before they began. I used you to gather the Jedi so they could be destroyed. And I used you to make those who wounded me reveal themselves, so they could be killed by the Republic."
- ―Kreia admits her manipulations — Listen (file info)[src]
- "Perhaps you were expecting some surprise, for me to reveal a secret that had eluded you, something that would change your perspective of events, shatter you to your core. There is no great revelation, no great secret. There is only you […] In times past and in times future, there are Jedi who will stop listening to the Force, those that will try to forget it, but maintain unconscious ties. And those, as in the past just as I, who have had the force stripped from them. But no Jedi ever made the choice you did. To sever ties so completely, so utterly, that it leaves a wound in the Force. It was a mistake to try to make you feel it again, I see that now. There is no truth in the Force. But there is truth in you, Exile. And that is why I chose you."
- ―Kreia explains why she chose the Exile[src]
- "You are greater than any I have ever trained. By killing me here—you have rewarded me more than you can possibly know."
- ―Kreia is defeated[src]
- "Revan knew that the true war is not against the Republic. It waits for us beyond the Outer Rim. And he has gone to fight it, in his own way. He left the Ebon Hawk and its machines behind, for he knew he would not need them. And, like you, he knew he must leave all loves behind as well, no matter how deeply one cares for them. Because such attachments are not the way of the Jedi, and they would only bring doom to them both in the dark places where he now walks […] Perhaps you shall go there with him, and do battle at the end of all things. Instead, I remained here… and now show others the way."
- ―Kreia on Revan[src]
[edit] Kreia's predictions
[edit] The Exile's followers
- "Perhaps there will be no new age, Mandalore, no great Mandalorian crusade. Perhaps your people fought their last battle at Malachor V, and you have been dying ever since, a quiet death that will last centuries. And perhaps all that remains will be what I see before me: a man, wounded by a Jedi, encased in a Mandalorian shell, haunted by the thought of being the last of the Mandalorians."
- ―Kreia to Mandalore[src]
- "They will die a death that will last millennia, until all that remains is their code, their history, and in the end, the shell of their armor upon the shell of a man, too easily slain by Jedi."
- ―Kreia predicts the future of the Mandalorians to Jedi Exile[src]
- "If she leaves this place, she will leave battle behind her … in no small part due to your influence. She will take Atris' role as historian, and teach others of the Jedi exile who gave up the Force … and became stronger for it."
- ―Kreia to Jedi Exile on Brianna's future[src]
- "If he leaves this place, he will leave the galaxy behind him. He will sit upon the new Council, reluctantly, as all good men do, and he will not forget the Jedi who had lost the Force, yet showed him the way to reclaim it."
- ―Kreia to Jedi Exile on Mical's future[src]
- "She will stop hunting life, and instead, live it. She was not born to be a predator, despite her true father and the life she led within the shadow of Nar Shaddaa. She will miss you and think of you often. You, who awakened her to what life is. She will live … but only for a time. Her death will occur in many years' time on a forgotten planet, saving the lives of others. But it will be her choice, and she will have no regrets."
- ―Kreia to Jedi Exile on Mira's future[src]
- "The blinded one shall return to her homeworld, and she shall look upon the surface of that world and perhaps at last see what she was meant to see. Her life has been changed by your meeting, in ways that may not be felt for decades to come."
- ―Kreia to Jedi Exile on Visas Marr's future[src]
[edit] Planets
- "Dantooine shall survive. The community you saved shall be the foundation upon which Dantooine shall be habitable again. They shall drive back the raiders, the Mandalorians, and all that strike at the Outer Rim. The Republic shall again establish their presence there, and shield it with its forces … And Dantooine shall heal, be safe, and its skies free. The ruins of the academy shall remain."
- ―Kreia to Jedi Exile on the future of Dantooine[src]
- "Korriban shall be as it always was. A graveyard for the darkest of the Sith Lords, still whispering within their tombs. It shall always be a source of evil, spawning threats throughout the millennia. It, like Malachor, brushes the edges of the empire that waits in the dark. And like Malachor, the Sith have forgotten it … for a time. They will remember. Revan knew this."
- ―Kreia on the future of Korriban[src]
- "Nar Shaddaa shall persist as it always has, but there will be a heart to the world where there was nothing before. Where once the lost and disposed were trapped there, now they will struggle and grow. From despair shall come hope."
- ―Kreia on the future of Nar Shaddaa[src]
- "Queen Talia shall have a long reign, much good will come of it. She will, as she has, rule wisely and well. Onderon shall remain in the Republic, and the world shall prosper, though its people shall, over time, lose their customs in the ocean of the Republic and become the people of Onderon no longer."
- ―Kreia on the future of Queen Talia and Onderon[src]
- "Under the care of the herds of Ithor, the surface of Telos will bloom again, and its golden fields shall again harbor scientists and thinkers. And complacent and peaceful, it shall forget the time that Saul Karath orbited it and brought fire to its skies. But it shall be a homeworld again to others, who will stretch out across the galaxy and bring life."
- ―Kreia on the recovery of Telos at the hands of the Ithorians after the Sith attack[src]
[edit] Quotes about Kreia
- "She's lucky she's a Jedi, or someone would've killed her years ago."
- ―Atton Rand[src]
- "Just so you Jedi know, the whole 'cryptic routine' isn't mysterious, it's just irritating. If you really can see the future, you should be at the pazaak table."
- ―Atton Rand[src]
- "Then she must be royalty, because she's got to be Queen of the Galaxy to bark out orders like that. Or maybe she's senile. I mean, how old do you think she is? She may have been good-looking once, but it takes some hard living to make creases like that."
- ―Atton Rand[src]
- "If she looks good to you, you must have taken a blaster hit when I wasn't looking."
- ―Jedi Exile to Atton Rand[src]
- "Good-looking? Are you that desperate?"
- ―Jedi Exile to Atton Rand[src]
- "You..."
- ―Brianna to Kreia[src]
[edit] Non-canonical quotes
[edit] Male Exile
The following quotes are included in the game but are dependent on the player choosing a male Jedi Exile and are, therefore, non-canonical:
- ""Never have you wondered what it would mean in the Echani rituals if the two of you sparred and fought - and you won, completely and utterly? If perhaps she would give in, surrender herself to you? Few are the thoughts that can hide in the shadows of your mind, exile, and such passions are not strength, but erosion."
- ―Kreia to Jedi Exile on the Echani, Brianna[src]
[edit] Cut material
The following quotes were cut from the final version of the game and are, therefore, non-canonical:
- "You... you seem familiar to me."
- ―Atris to Kreia[src]
- "And so you wait... as a shadow."
- ―Visas Marr to Kreia[src]
- (to Atris) "Atris... I have always been here. Yes, I was here both times when the Exile was brought before you. It is not the first time we have met, Atris. I was here... before." (cut)
- (to Atris, continues) "I was the one who asked him to be exiled." (cut)
- (to Atris, continues) "You have gathered Sith holocrons, Sith teachings, from across the Galaxy. It is why you have chosen servants who cannot feel the Force. And most importantly they cannot feel what you have become." (cut)
- (to Atris, continues) "I have wondered if any of these Holocrons had survived Dantooine. You have taken relics from one destroyed planet, to the devastation of another." (cut)
- (to Atris, continues) "Such an act marked Telos for destruction. It is why the Sith came here, but the fleet commanders did not know why. It is why Revan ordered its destruction, to mark the beginning of the Jedi civil war. It was a message, that there would be no place for the Jedi to retreat, to hide." (cut)
- (to Atris, continues) "Yes. Such acts leave their mark on the Galaxy. Their cries travel far where few can hear them. I will not be surprised if Revan left other gifts beneath the surface of the planet. Much can be buried beneath graveyards, that can never be found." (cut)
- "Children with lightsabers. But not Jedi, I think... come close. Let me look upon you and see what the Exile's teaching has forged. An assassin, a slayer of her own kin, a blinded slave and a fool." (cut)
- "You think your existence under your lord was torture, Miraluka? I will make you see!" (cut)
- "It is what we have fought against... for centuries..." (cut)
- "I can teach you no longer. I have cut my bond to you, I have no need of you any longer." (cut)
- (to Brianna) "(smiles) Yes. At last you see." (cut)
- (to Brianna) "I am one of the Sith, it is true... I must answer for my actions... and it is my wish that only Atris hear my answers." (cut)
- "And what was Jedi is Sith. And what is Sith is Jedi." (cut)
- (to Visas Marr) "Take me to your lord. He will have the strength to do what the council can not." (cut)
